Did I get ripped off?

[_S7V7N_]

The only Major concern i would have is the amp kit they sold you.


Lets Look at this Graph i got off of KnuKonceptz website, it's a good reference.

Okay where it says Amperage on the Left side of the chart, that's the Fuses on your amp or amps. I believe that Autotek has (2) 30 amp fuses so if you add them up it's 60 Amps.

Your kit comes with 20 Ft of 10 Gauge Power wire, For our little cars we may use about 10 Ft. That would be the Bottom Number on the chart.


So when you cross that the smallest gauge wire recommended would be 8 Gauge. Okay now you make think the site is just biased towards selling you there products, lets look at the actual product description of your Amp Kit

I pulled the info from here : http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...n-AKIT10J.html

See even the manufacture rates there amp kit Very low on the wattage.

For that sub and the load it's putting on the amp the amp kit is fine for now, but if you ever added another sub I'd worry.


In the end how do you feel about your system ? Is it what you wanted or do you want it Louder ? Did the place who did you system give you any type of warranty with there work ? Are they going to back the manufactures 1 year warranty ? Did they give you all the paperwork that comes with the amp and subs ?

You didn't get ripped off but if the answer is no to all of the above then you may have an issue in the future if anything ever goes wrong with one of the components in you system.
